Gluster users - May 2017 - Connect Gluster Node with web interface

Hi
   list users
              I plan to setup a cluster of Gluster Node namely node1,
node2, node3 on which users will upload and download files through web
interface. I checked the setup of Gluster nodes in distributed mode so that
files uploaded by users distribute equally across gluster nodes.

 I have one doubts regarding the linking of gluster nodes to the web server
for uploading and downloading using web interface. I know mounting of any
of the gluster node in the web server using mount.glusterfs and then making
a symbolic link of the web root the mounted glusterfs. But in that case
entire website will get distributed across all the gluster nodes. I just
want to send the uploaded files/directories to the mounted glusterfs in a
distributed mode.

I will appreciate if anyone guide me for an efficient solution of the above.


Regards

Why not mount the gluster volume to a subdirectory inside your webroot and
point your uploads from users to that folder.

Just make sure you set your mount as a required dependency on the web
server service
